Russians shocked by mass burials of soldiers in Kemerovo region_ “Whole country will be horrified”

A resident of the town of Myski in Russia’s Kemerovo Oblast posted a video online showing rows of graves of Russian soldiers who went to fight in Ukraine and returned home in coffins, Crimean Wind channel wrote.
“The Russian debunked the propaganda myth of ‘no losses,’” the channel wrote, commenting on the video.
It noted that while Russian state TV continues to claim there are “no losses” during the so-called “special military operation” and that “everything is going according to plan,” cemeteries across Russia keep rapidly expanding.
Walking among the graves, the man behind the camera could not hide his shock at the number of fresh burials and the birth dates on the plaques.
“Look what’s going on here,” he said, showing rows of soldiers’ graves. Noticing one marker, he exclaimed: “Vladimir Popov. My peer! Born in 1980.”
Other graves bore the names of men born in 1993, 1994, and even 2005.
Pointing to the expanse of the cemetery, the man clarified that it is located in a town of just 40,000 people.
“And this isn’t the only cemetery,” he added.
The Myski resident also voiced his belief that the real death toll among Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine will be enormous.
“Look, there are more flags down there too – in general, there are so many,” he concluded.
“The number of dead guys will be staggering. When we finally learn the truth about their numbers, the whole country will be horrified.”
Ukraine’s Defense Forces have eliminated more than 300,000 Russian troops in 2025, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported recently. “Ukraine’s Defense Forces are destroying the enemy: since the start of the year, more than 305, 000 invaders have been neutralized,” he wrote.
In addition, Syrskyi said Ukrainian troops have inflicted significant losses on Russian equipment.
“Nearly 30,000 enemy vehicles have been destroyed, which severely undermines Russia’s ability to supply and maneuver its forces,” the general noted.
Recall, Kremlin has begun distributing an updated instruction manual to military units engaged in its war in Ukraine on the preparation and maintenance of mass graves. The 20-page textbook titled, “Civil Defense: Urgent burials of corpses in wartime,” was produced by Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Services and is an updated version of one issued a few months prior to the February 2022 full-scale invasion; the earlier version was said to be intended for dealing with large scale fatalities following an attack on Russia. The booklet is filled with detailed instructions and diagrams detailing the size of mass graves, the construction of the pits, tables showing lists of equipment and the manpower needed to construct a 100-person burial. It provides details of how many body bags should be laid at each level with each layer being covered with earth before the next layer is positioned and how much earth should be used to close the grave. It also specifies the use of “chimneys” to allow the gases of decomposing bodies to be released to avoid a possible buildup of explosive fumes.
